First there was Trans Gaule (race across France), then i put this sequel together for the Western States 100 Miler in the US, then it was off to run across Germany and then the oblivion of injuries from then onwards meant this blog just wouldn't die.
Now with a start in Badwater.com followed by another Trans Gaule this blog lives a little longer.

Trans Gaule 2008: Day 11: short update just hope i have the energy to post tomorrow after long stage with early start! Just sent now after running 8:05 for the long day as unable to maintain 3g connection day 12 to follow after shower & food (2:30 he

Short update as keep losing 3G connection. 12th in 4:49:58 as Renesets another course record (3:43). Short day through beautiful scenerysuited me fine, possibly set out a little fast wanted to finish in themorning, cool & foggy early meant i took 40k to warm hands butsporadic sun was lovely. As usual a rousing welcome from the locals,was probably averaging 12KPH when running but backed off a bit &walked uphills at times as the body seemed unused to that speed afterthe last 10 days.

About Me

What started as a short term blog of my race across France in 2006, became a sequel in 2007 when i did an Ultra over in the US and then a race across Germany. Really wanted to finish this blog off then but injuries meant i should keep it going to give an idea of my comeback (as a man usually prefaced in running circles as "indestructible" no one believed i actually could have injuries and other issues to stop me). However now in 2008 with a race across Death Valley www.badwater.com and another, faster shot at the race across France, it looks like this blog won't die for a while, so enjoy the ride !.
